Online MBA (12-Month Fast Track)

What is the Online MBA (12-Month Fast Track)?

The Online MBA (12-Month Fast Track) is a UK Master of Business Administration covering the whole of general management — strategy, finance, marketing, operations, people and leadership — and finishing with a research project in your own organisation or sector.

Study is 100% online over 12 months (12-month fast track pace); it carries 120 credits at Level 7 across 10 modules. Assessment is by written assignments and a final project, so there are no examinations, and the full fee is £6,700 with monthly instalment plans.

Who is this MBA for?

This 12-month fast track MBA suits graduates and experienced managers who want a broad, strategic business education covering strategy, finance, marketing, operations and leadership, studied around a full-time job.

• Study fully online with tutor support from MBAVerse, with no fixed timetable.
• Assessment by assignments and a final project, so you can evidence learning from your own workplace.
• Fast-track pace: the full MBA in one year for learners who can commit more hours each week.
• Monthly instalment plans and a pay-in-full option on every route.

Modules and credits

The programme totals 120 credits at Level 7. It is built from 10 modules, taken one at a time, each ending with a single assignment.

How you study

This is the 12-month fast track route: the same MBA content and credits, scheduled over 12 months. Expect roughly 20–25 hours of study a week.

At MBAVerse this MBA is delivered online: you receive the module materials, assignment briefs and tutor support through the learning platform and submit assignments when you are ready. There are no fixed lecture times, so you can start in any month.

Week one: you get your platform login, meet your module tutor by message or call, and receive the first module's reading and assignment brief. Feedback: marked work comes back with written comments within 10 working days. Pacing: you can move to a longer route before any module starts if work commitments change.

How you are assessed

There are no examinations on this MBA. Each of the 10 modules is assessed by one piece of written work — a report, case analysis or project — that you can base on your own organisation, so the assignments double as workplace projects.

Work is marked by MBAVerse tutors against published criteria and moderated by the awarding university. You receive written feedback on every submission within 10 working days, and one resubmission per assignment is included in the fee if a first attempt does not pass.

Entry requirements

Applicants for this MBA are assessed on qualifications and experience together, so there is more than one route in:

• Graduate route: a bachelor's degree (any discipline) or an equivalent Level 6 qualification.
• Experience route: no degree, but substantial managerial or professional experience evidenced by a CV and references, assessed case by case.
• English: where English is not your first language, a recognised English test or evidence of study or work in English.
• Documents: photo ID, certificates or transcripts for the graduate route, and a CV with two referees for the experience route.

If you are unsure whether your background qualifies, ask MBAVerse admissions before you pay anything; eligibility is confirmed within one working day.
